The ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image) is a museum and cultural center in Melbourne, dedicated to exploring the moving image in all its forms. Located at Federation Square, it hosts interactive exhibitions, films, and events related to cinema, television, video games, and digital culture. ACMI also has a cinema where classic and contemporary films are screened. It organizes festivals and educational events that attract visitors of all ages. Its focus is on innovation and the cultural impact of moving images. It is a space that celebrates creativity and the history of visual entertainment in Australia and around the world. It is a must-visit for film and digital culture enthusiasts.

A couple of prominent Victorians have died over the last few days. John Marsden, writer and educator will be sorely missed. Michael Leunig, talented cartoonist (but during Covid somewhat prone to extreme views, like many others) will also be missed.
Plus another friend who was bright, passionate teacher and helper in his community at 92, died yesterday. He too will be missed by many.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), at Federation Square, Melbourne, is Australia's national museum of film, video games, digital culture and art. During the 2015-16 financial year, 1.45 million people visited ACMI, the second-highest attendance of any gallery or museum in Australia, and the most visited moving image museum in the world.

A couple discussing the merits of the work currently showing at the ACMI in Melbourne.
Light: Works from Tate’s Collection features 'Raemar, Blue' which is one of the earliest and most significant of James Turrell’s ‘Shallow Space Constructions’ works which combine architecture, sculpture, light and space to completely envelop the viewer in a coloured atmosphere. 'Raemar, Blue' is an immersive spatial environment that plays with the experience of perception and the effect of light in space.
The work was first executed in 1968, an important year for Turrell which saw him expand the confines of his earlier light projections into constructed physical environments. Blue light radiates from fluorescent tubes placed behind a partition that appears to float at the back of the gallery space.

A self portrait...
Light Music (1975) by Lis Rhodes, is a work that is part of the 'Light: Works from Tate’s Collection' exhibition currently showing at the ACMI in Melbourne.
A major figure in the history of artists’ filmmaking in Britain, Rhodes is one of the early proponents of expanded cinema. Light Music positions audiences as both participants and spectators in a work revealing the experimental interrelationship of light and the moving image.

I spent a wonderful afternoon with Margaret and Tricia over the weekend at ACMI's fabulous new exhibition Wonderland.
It was a fabulousl trip through more than a century of Alice in Wonderland adaptations . . . a tapestry of props, costumes, artwork and films.
If you visit the exhibition make sure you do the Mad Hatter Tea Party at the end . . . we did it twice and it was wonderful! A visual feast!

This was my other version this months FOTF, the theme being 'Fairytale' and inspired by my recent visit to the Wonderland exhibition at ACMI.
The images within the frames were taken at the exhibition and were a part of the the life size illustrations that featured on some of the walls as you entered.
See my previous upload.
One of a flight of 2 Lears that landed at Naval Air Station North Island in the afternoon. Flight International jets use the call sign 'Riptide' and provide training to Navy air and sea forces.
This jet is carrying an An/ALQ 167 jamming pod on the port (near side) wing and a Leonardo P5 ACMI pod on the starboard wing.
This months wonderful FOTF theme of 'Fairytales' was chosen by Beverley.
My recent visit to the Wonderland exhibition at ACMI was very timely and provided the inspiration for this collage. It is made up of five images all taken at the exhibition.
"Alice In Wonderland captures that dream state and that internal quality about why we use fairytales and folk tales to figure things out in our life and culture", Tim Burton, 2010.
ACMI or the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, thought to myself what better place to create a moving image ?

On Sunday we visited the “Wallace & Gromit and Friends - The Magic of Aardman” exhibition currently running at ACMI in Federation Square. The Aardman Studios, based in Bristol in the UK, have been creating amazing animations using clay-sculpted figures for over four decades. The exhibition shows all aspects of the creation of these animation masterpieces and was very entertaining. These two pictures of Gromit, were two of the many original sets on display at the exhibition, showing Gromit in jail in “A Close Shave” and measuring his marrow in “The Curse of the Were-Rabbit”.
During June 1994, a number of Swiss Mirages and F-5s deployed to Waddington to use the ACMI ranges out by The Wash. Here, ACMI stands for Air Combat Manoeuvring Instrumentation.
On an otherwise overcast day, Mirage 3S J-2309 catches a ration of sunlight on the taxiway.
The aircraft is now preserved in a museum at Graz, Austria.

Cool movie poster for Melbourne ACMI. (Australian Centre for the Moving Image).
Creature from the Black Lagoon is a 1954 American black-and-white 3D monster horror film.
With the traffic lights at red, one of twelve visiting French Air Force Dassault Mirage 2000's - No.113/12-YO crosses the main A15 road while on short finals to land back at RAF Waddington during one of the then regular North Sea ACMI range exercises - 19th November 2004.
Others there that day were five Royal Navy Sea Harrier FA.2's making one of their last such appearances before retirement and five Belgian Air Force F-16 Vipers.
With the closure of the ranges such activity was consigned to history!

The Memory Garden is a display at ACMI, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. Each vertical pod is a projector that plays a vintage clip of indigenous people. You can pass your hand under the projector and see the images playing on your palm.

Must have been fun as I'm sure the bar was later
